Who can look
but not be scikened
by Thailands screaming souls
by the vileand awful torure
at the hands of evi ltrolls
on the wanderers forced onto streets
of shame of guilt of woe
who end up in the torture sheds
where the dog meat trade
on show
flourishing its nourishing
the sunken trolls who feel
they want to eat this torture
almost for every meal
the misery that’s inflicted
its terrible to see
to hear the scream their heads off
in abject agony
and these are thai’s
who welcome us
to come to their rich shore
and in the darkness torture
and agony and more
the canine tribes are brutalized
I cannot bear to say
how could I go Thailand
into their hands I’d play
and really people going there
should understand it all
how the dogs are treated
they are up against a wall
nailed into the fabric
broken hearts we hear
a searing scream
from the ghoulish team
who create this world of fear
